Rocking the latest LTS here, and Ubuntu server on my homeserver. Wish them all the luck!

They just have decided like Red-Hat did before them, that there is no money to be made on the Linux desktops and they better focus on IoT and server as long term survival plan. There was a blog post about it. Yet they still have one of the best laptop support.

And the fact that Linux kernel is at the bottom layer of ChromeOS and Android is only an implementation detail to app developers.
Despite recieving enormous amounts of backlash and criticism from the tech comunity every release Canonical is the one company making Linux desktops available for less technical people and I applaud them for doing so!

Personally, I've only ever had issues with Ubuntu Server and have since switched back to Debian. I don't know if I'm extremely unlucky or if the choices I make are really that bad; - I've hit a bug with amavisd and bitdefender[1] - Recently, Ubuntu pushed for 'netplan' instead of ifupdown and that didn't work with an empty bridge for LXC[2][3] - They broke a (convenience) script for remotely unlocking a LUKS rootfs[4…

Unfortunately, I think Canonical has lost their focus on the desktop user. Every version of Ubuntu since 16.04 has had major issues for me. I have given every one of them a chance to redeem themselves, right up to today trying 18.10. Still no dice... For me, as boring as it sounds, Debian 9 (Stretch) with XFCE is rock solid as a daily driver. I'm not some fuddy duddy doing nothing but text editing either. I code ever…
I'm amazed at Canonical policy of releasing new versions with these kind of bugs open https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CosmicCuttlefish/ReleaseNotes#Known_... Anyone care to recommend a distro which has better policy on quality? (for desktop usage)
The harsh reality is that every distribution has these last-minute creepers. More user engagement would help here, much more than crying for the next distro. Use whatever you like since each has their own policies for a reason that makes sense IMHO. If you do not care for professional/commercial use cases, install Arch Linux. It almost never breaks (zero times for me in six years of use) and always has the latest and…

I don't see how Ubuntu is any less complicated than say, Fedora. I also really don't like their use of CLAs and their attempt to use their desktop presence to push Ubuntu-specific technologies like Mir, Unity, and Snap.

Honestly though, how many non- technical people do you know who run any form of Linux? Steve Jobs came along and gobbled up that market 15 years ago.
